Area forecast discussion, Jun 22, 1:27 PM EDT, 17 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BLACKSBURG VA
127 PM EDT SUN JUN 22 2008

.SYNOPSIS...
A WEAK COOL FRONT WILL SLIDE ACROSS THE APPALACHIANS MOUNTAINS
LATE TODAY AND REMAIN IN THE VICINTY THROUGH MONDAY BEFORE FINALLY
PUSHING WELL EAST OF THE AREA TUESDAY. HIGH PRESSURE WILL THEN BE
IN CONTROL FOR MOST OF THE REMAINDER OF THE WEEK.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
AN APPROACHING WEAK FRONTAL BOUNDARY AND ADDITIONAL S/WV ENERGY
LATER THIS AFTERNOON WILL HELP KEEP LAPSE RATES RELATIVELY
STEEP...AS WELL AS HELP INCREASE SHEAR A BIT AND BRING IN SOME
DRIER AIR ALOFT LATE IN THE DAY. SOME ADDITIONAL COOLING ALOFT IN
THE WEST WILL LEAD TO SFC CAPES OF 2000 J/KG OR HIGHER. AS A
RESULT...APPEARS THE CHANCES ARE BETTER FOR SOME MORE ORGANIZED
CONVECTION AND PROBABLY A FEW MORE SEVERE STORMS COMPARED TO
SATURDAY...WITH WIND PERHAPS HIGHEST THREAT. SUSPECT EARLIEST
CONVECTION ONCE AGAIN OVER HIGHEST TERRAIN BUT SPREADING EAST AND
ALSO MORE ORGANIZED MOVING IN FROM WEST LATE IN THE DAY OR
EVENING. JUST WENT WITH MODERATE TO HIGH CHC POPS EVERYWHERE...WITH
HIGHEST IN THE WEST LATE.

WHILE THERE MAY BE MORE AREAS THAT BY EARLY EVENING HAVE
EXPERIENCE CONVECTION COMPARED TO SATURDAY...THE TIMING OF THE SFC
BOUNDARY AND STRONGER UPPER LEVEL WAVE IS LIKELY TO ONCE AGAIN
KEEP SOME CONVECTION GOING WELL INTO THE OVERNIGHT HOURS. SO AHVE
KEPT A SMALL CHC POP UP FOR THE WEST ALL NIGHT...SLIGHT CHC IN THE
EAST.

AM STICKING VERY CLOSE TO MAV GUIDANCE FOR HIGHS TODAY AND LOWS
OVERNIGHT WITH SMALL UPWARD ADJUSTMENTS PER RECENT COOL BIASES FOR
HIGHS. HIGHS VERY SIMILAR TO SATURDAY WITH MID TO UPPER 80S EAST
AND 70S TO NEAR 80 WEST.

&&

.SHORT TERM /MONDAY THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT/...
WHILE FRONTAL BOUNDARY...WHATS LEFT OF IT...MAY END UP BEING JUST
TO THE EAST OF CWA ON MONDAY...TROF AMPLIFIES WITH STRONGER WAVE
DIGGING AROUND BOTTOM BY EARLY MONDAY AND MAY ACTUALLY HELP TO
HOLD BOUNDARY IN PLACE OR EVEN PULL IT BACK SOMEWHAT. SOME
INDICATIONS OF MUCH MORE ORGANIZED LINE OF CONVECTION FORMING
LATER IN THE DAY...LIKELY OUT EAST. BUT WITH COLDER AIR ALOFT
STILL MOVING IN TO WEST...MORE SCT CONV STILL POSSIBLE BACK THERE.
FOR NOW AHVE NOT INDICATED HIGHER CHANCES EAST OR WEST...BUT
EVENTUALLY MAY NEED TO GO WITH LIKELY POPS OUT EAST FOR MONDAY.

MODELS ALL IN AGREEMENT THAT THIS MORE SIGNIFICANT WAVE WILL PUSH
THE BOUNDARY WELL EAST OVERNIGHT AND INTO TUES...AND
SIGNIFICANTLY DRY THINGS OUT...ALTHOUGH NOT NECESSARILY COOL
THINGS OFF AS SLIGHTLY LOW THICKNESSES WILL BE OFFSET BY MORE
ABUNDANT SUNSHINE AND LOWER DEW PTS.

&&

.LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
NOT MUCH AMPLITUDE TO THE UPPER FLOW...MEANS THAT THE HEAT RIDGE
OVER THE SONORAN DESERT WILL STAY PUT...KEEPING THE EASTERN HALF
OF THE CONUS UNDER ZONAL FLOW TO AT WORST A WEAK TROUGH INTO NEXT
WEEKEND. AS SOME OF THE WARMER H85 TEMPS TRY TO PUSH NORTH...A
WEAK BOUNDARY MAY SETUP ACROSS THE TENNESSEE VALLEY...WITH A SLT
CHC FOR SHWS AND THUNDERSTORMS NEXT WEEKEND. TEMPS SHOULD BE BEAR
NORMAL FOR MUCH OF NEXT WEEK.

&&

.AVIATION /18Z SUNDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
SCTD STRONG AND SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS WERE DEVELOPING OVER THE
REGION THIS AFTERNOON. SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH 594 IS IN EFFECT
UNTIL 8PM. WILL CONTINUE TO KEEP VCTS UNTIL CONFIDENCE IS HIGHER
THAT STORMS WILL HIT A PARTICULAR AIRSPACE. STORMS HAVE BEEN
PRODUCING PENNY TO QUARTER SIZE HAIL AND STRONG GUSTY WINDS.

MORE MVFR FOG TO DEVELOP MOST LOCATIONS AND LIKELY IFR AT LWB AND
DAN...ESPECIALLY IF THEY PICK OF RAINFALL TODAY.

STILL A CONTINUED CHANCE OF SCATTERED CONVECTION MONDAY AFTERNOON.
NOTICEABLE CLEARING WILL OCCUR TUE AND WED AS HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS
IN ACROSS OUR SOUTH.

&&
